Jan 9, 2009 750 mL bottle purchased at World of Beer in Tampa, FL. Aroma is nice and aromatic with plenty of berry notes. I detect blueberries more than anything else. There is also a nice sweetness present with a lingering herbal and vinous nose. Nice. Transparent amber/orange body with a smallish, off-yellow head. Light lacing. Caramelly, fruity, chewy, lightly cloying sticky start and middle. Becomes quite fruity with more blueberry than blackberry flavors. Lightly astringent tartness is present later on. Finishes with wine-like aftertaste. Very good.

Jan 5, 2009 this is definitely a smoker’s beer. the flavors are fairly mellow at first. However, after a relaxing smoke, the berries are all over the flavor. It’s a pretty cool brew, and i give additional points for originality done well. but it’s just kinda too fruity with a lack of balance overall. nonetheless, it’s a tasty treat.

Jan 4, 2009 Bottle. Hazy reddish body, with a small off-white head. Aroma reminds me of my childhood, when my grandmother made jam. Dark berries and a touch of yeast. Flavor is dark berries, sweet honey/sugar. Alcohol is well hidden. A nice brew.
It is not worth 120 danish kr. (11-12£)

Jan 2, 2009 Bottled on 02/13/2007, rated on 1/2/2009, 1 pint 9.6 fl. oz. bottle pours a hazed rust amber with a small head (I poured hard). The aroma is sort of funky and blueberry. The flavor is dominated by the blueberry and blackberry, sweetness, with some sour notes here and there. I guess I can sort of see the Belgian yeast characteristics, but not in a very pronounced way. The palate is pretty rich and coating. The alcohol is really well hidden and makes this beer dangerous and deceptively drinkable. Overall, I’m glad I got it since I am a big fan of the dark berries. Under rated IMHO.

Jan 2, 2009 Bomber at Jerry’s. Darker amber with light, off-white head / Fermented dark berry nose / Medium body, acidic, moderately sweet, with good finish / Flavors of fermented berries, predominantly blackberries, with notes of banana and spice / A stylish, almost wine-like brew.

Dec 27, 2008 Dark fruits, black and blue berries obviously. Even a champagne sourness to it. I loved this beer. A perfect mix of a fruity sour and wine.

Dec 23, 2008 750ml from . . . I cant remember. Anyways, this is a not bad companion to DFH Red and White. Clear pour, a pleasantly gleaming body, with a thick head that dissipates somewhat quickly. Translucent amber with faint pinkish hues, not unlike the Upland lambics I recently sampled, at least in appearance. Strong berry nose but you can certainly tell this is pureed, as it has a vaguely artificial quality to it. Malty brew with warming qualities, a bit of honey in the flavor too, almost as if this is Midas Touch with a ton of fruit. Alcohol well hidden, not a bad beer.
